Legit Gloves
by Caliswag - verified purchaser From CAL
I cant feel checks any more, slashes to the thumb dont hurt, high quality glove, overall amazing glove buy it.Pros:
These gloves are amazing because they're not super bulky gloves like the brass monkeys but they're not really small and unprotective like superlights. They're just in between, flexible right out of the box yet lots of padding.Cons:
The thumb is a bit wide and stiff at first but other than that its great.
My new favorite gloves
by Bradley Vrecko - verified purchaser From VANCOUVER, CANADA
These are my new favorites, replacing the STX G22 which were good for me for a long time. Other gloves I still own but prefer the Esquire over: STX K18, Harrow Torrent, Gait Recon, STX G22, Maverik Maybach.Pros:
These gloves fit very well and offer a great combination of protection and mobility. They take the sting out of hard slaps and chops, yet they won't obstruct your movement when switching hands or getting creative. I especially liked the extra protection in the thumb; not just more padding, but a hard plastic piece that is pre-curved to make this very comfortable.Cons:
The floating cuff gets in the way more than it does anything, and I think these would benefit from copying the cuff of the Gait gloves (rose petal type cuff) or the Harrow floating cuff.
the best
by kevin martinez - verified purchaser From ALGONQUIN, ILLINOIS
Can't wait to use them this upcoming season!!!Pros:
These gloves are great! Right out of the box, I could feel the sleek and comfortable design that makes these gloves great. The out part is very protective and just looks ridiculously awesome!Cons:
Nothing. Great gloves on brines part!

I am running into a problem where Civil 3D is creating multiple point groups of my 4 existing groups (the original group names are Topo, Existing Ground, Hide, and All Points). The new groups seem to be copies of the originals in terms of styles but do not include the points that were designated in the originals (no points are assigned in these copies).
The groups appear some time after I create the surface.
I've also noticed that this occurs in my list of grading criteria as well.
Any help you can offer (or if you have even heard of this problem) would be appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by SethHall. See the answer in context.
Hi Josh-
Personally I have seen this issue occur a few times in the past, mostly with grading groups. For some reason the .1, .2, .1.1, etc. suffix gets added to the existing grading groups as they get duplicated in the drawing. If I recall correctly this was traced back to a corrupted drawing, and moving the data to a new clean drawing resolved the issue.
Have you confirmed that this is happening in multiple drawings? If so were all the drawing exhibiting the issue created from the same template?
That's a weird one, Josh. Post your drawing and maybe someone can figure out what's happening here.
Here is the drawing including the error. Hope this helps.
I have seen that happen when you insert another drawing with the same groups in it. Could you have a block that has duplicate information in it?
I haven't inserted any drawings or blocks from anywhere. There are quite a few blocks stored in the drawing but those came from the template.
I did import a point file (pnezd format) but the groups did not appeared until sometime after that.
Hi Josh,
The only thing I see out of the ordinary is that you are double-specifying your inclusion criteria. For example, you have the Topo group set to Include Raw Descriptions Matching a couple of values, and then you also create a query on the same values. You don't need to do that.
I don't know if this is in any way related to the issue of the duplicate point groups, but it's the only thing I see that isn't totally kosher.
You don't happen to be using Vault, do you? If so, maybe the point groups are locked in the project so the program creates a new one in the drawing if the group needs to change?
Maybe you're using a Survey database with Survey Point groups? Any chance of this?
I have been supporting this software since it came out and have never seen anything like this.
Here are some questions ot ask yourself: Have you ever seen this happen in a different drawing? If you delete the point groups, do they come back? Are you able to tell me what you were doing immediately before you noticed this issue? Do you have any third-party apps running on top of Civil 3D? Have you used command line version of Purge (-purge?) Recover? Audit?
What's the origin of the drawing file? Was it created from your standard template, sent from outside your company, an old Land Desktop drawing?
Have fun with this one. It's perplexing.
Just an update and response to Tim,
I haven't been using Vault, third party apps, or a survey database (not that I know of anyway, I just imported the points from a .csv, comma delineated file). I have since deleted the point groups and they have not come back but the drawing drags and runs slow causing CAD to crash about 2-3 times an hour.
The drawing is coming from a new template that me and several others in the office are using. We have noticed that this does not happen every time. It occurs about once every three of four drawings, and always soon after the existing ground surface is created from the existing ground point group.
Josh, I'm sorry, but I don't know what's causing this. It's very strange.
If you're on subscription, you should send this in to Autodesk tech support. If they are able to give you an answer, please follow up to the group.
If I have some sudden inspiration that provides and answer I will do the same. Don't count on it, though.
Hi Josh-

It seems like Seth may have been right on this one. I've been able to clean up the template and have been using it for a week and haven't had any new problems come up. I used some help from Shawn Herring from prosoft to clean up the corrupted file. Here is his advice:
I analyzed your file and found a lot of corruptions. Perform a clean up in the DWG file, as described below:
- Open the files in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 with Recover;
- Apply the command "-purge", and select Regapps;
- Apply the comand "-scalelistedit", and select Delete
- Run the command Overkill;
Then, delete the duplicated Point Groups, leaving just the desired groups (Topo, Existing Ground, Hide, _All Points and _No Show) and save as a new file.
I recommend to perform a' Recover' and 'Audit' procedures regularly to avoid new corruptions.
This worked for me. Hope it helps someone else in the future.

1 Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, the Hellenists murmured against the Hebrews because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. | 1 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Grecian Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. |
2 And the twelve summoned the body of the disciples and said, "It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. | 2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, "It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. |
3 Therefore, brethren, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint to this duty. | 3 Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them |
4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word." | 4 and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word." |
5 And what they said pleased the whole multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Proch'orus, and Nica'nor, and Ti'mon, and Par'menas, and Nicola'us, a proselyte of Antioch. | 5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. |
6 These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands upon them. | 6 They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. |

Embarrassing year for Pittsburgh sports
Lets briefly recap the past year of Pittsburgh sports since last April 15th (Tax Day 2011)
Pirates: Catch lightening in a bottle and have the whole city buzzing. Leading the tough NL Central, filling PNC Park to the brim, people could actually name the roster. It was one terrible call in Atlanta in extra innings that derailed the team. back to stinking up the diamond. Steelers: We got Tebowed, need I say more? Want details? Okay, FINE! Tebow was supposedly incapable of throwing over 50% completion. He ended up throwing couple of touchdowns and scorch Ike Taylor for over 200 yards. And oh yea . . . It took America all of 8 seconds to see the new playoff overtime rules in action. Penguins: On the verge of being swept in the first round. Don't call me a negative Nacy, there's just nothing that makes me believe they can even muster one win in this series. By the numbers, this is the most goals the Flyers have scored in the first three games of a series (20) EVER as a franchise . . . yeah, its that bad. Not too mention we have to watch Talbot and Jagr (Czech for "Douchbag") skate off victorious. Pitt Panthers: Its business as usual for the football team: lousy. As for the basketball team, by far the biggest disappointment of the whole season. Pitt fans resort back to what they do best: bitching and moaning. I currently have a roommate from Boston so you can imagine we playfully feud in our current location of Columbus, OH. We're just two absolutly bullheaded, unapologetic supporters of our cities. Before, I lived amoungst Clevelanders in college so this is a big 180 degree difference in terms of bragging rights and sports oneupmanship that I'm used to having. |
Re: Embarrassing year for Pittsburgh sports
you might as well throw in Penn State while you're at it.. a lot of us are PSU fans too.
Re: Embarrassing year for Pittsburgh sports
Baseball should force the current dismal, poor owners of the Pirates to sell the team to someone with MONEY! They should never be allowed to own a baseball team.
As for the Penguins, i have no idea what the hell they're doing. And if you take off the "Pittsburgh" blinders, they're starting to become known as the "new" Philadelphia Flyers....cheap shot artists. I dont' necessarily think they are...but they're starting be known as such to others. |
Re: Embarrassing year for Pittsburgh sports
How can you guys not add in PSU? Although "embarrassing" might not apply, you would need something quite worse to label what happened there.
Penguins are playing as about as poor sports as you can be. Flyer, my team are spanking them good. The only issue with the Pens playing the way they are, is the Flyers are beating them soundly in all areas. Goals, Brawls etc. So even playing dirty isn't getting them anywheres. |
Re: Embarrassing year for Pittsburgh sports
yeah, definitely PSU is an embarrassment, i just think the focus of this post was the city of Pittsburgh.
To me, its astounding and incredibly baffling that theres not a demand by the league and by the city for the current Pirates owner to sell the team. They are 100% incapable of owning a sports team, are proving it, and are causing major embarrassment for the city. Hell, why don't i just own them? I don't have any money either lol |
Re: Embarrassing year for Pittsburgh sports
actually the penguins have been kicking the shit outta philthy in the fights.... the only good thing in the series thus far.
how anyone can see differently is baffling. on a positive note is the city of pgh has had plenty of years to be extremely proud of. disappointment happens even in the midst of greatness. |
Re: Embarrassing year for Pittsburgh sports
Pirates aside, I find it quite comforting that the Steelers/Pens disappointments come with playoff loss's. That goes to show how we bleed here. Hell, there are most fanbase's that would just like to see a competitive team around their parts. The playoffs would be an added dream & a bonus for hope.
Proud to be a Pittsburgh-er!:tt02: |
Re: Embarrassing year for Pittsburgh sports
glad I am a WVU football fan, when I tire of watching another steel city meltdown I put the 70-33 Orange bowl drubbing of Clemson in and all is good :thumbsup:
Re: Embarrassing year for Pittsburgh sports
I love Pittsburgh, like the Pirates, like the Pens but I'm no rabid fan. When it comes to my Stillers though, I'm a diehard MANIAC. It's all about the Steelers for me, hands down. The Steelers are my heartbeat.
Re: Embarrassing year for Pittsburgh sports
Come on Tony, are both your eyes bandaged up?lol
We are not talking cheap cross checks to the throat when no one is looking. We are talking Hartnell taking off his gloves than pounding your guy.. Christ, a blind quad can beat that snot nosed Crosby. Watch game 4, than we can talk, lol But Crosby may be saying Mommy half way through the 2nd period. |

We've received a lot of questions about the trees outside of August Wilson Center in the 900 block of Liberty Avenue Downtown. Tree Pittsburgh planted those 10 trees using new Silva Cell technology in 2009. This pilot project was the first installation of Silva Cells in Pennsylvania. The trees were arguably the best-looking trees in all of Downtown thanks to the extra TLC they received over the years.

The PARE model
The PARE model is a useful tool for clinicians who work with couples in mixed orientation marriages (one in which one of the spouses experiences same-sex attraction). After the disclosure of same-sex attraction, both spouses go through a variety of emotions and a time of learning to face their new understanding of reality. In the midst of this, many couples choose to divorce. However, for those couples who decide to remain together, Yarhouse and Kays (2010) describe a four-stage framework: Provide sexual identity therapy, Address "interpersonal trauma," foster Resilience through marriage counseling, and Enhance sexual intimacy (PARE).
Sexual identity therapy walks alongside the individual who has same-sex attraction in a client-centered, identity-focused way in order to help them navigate their sexual identity conflicts. Though this portion of the PARE model is primarily focused on the sexual minority, there are psychoeducational portions of therapy that can also be beneficial for the spouse.
In the next stage of the PARE model, the focus is more on the spouse, as the couple addresses the potential "interpersonal trauma" (Gordon, Baucom, Snyder, Atkins, & Christensen, 2006) of the discovery that one's spouse is attracted to the same sex (and whether there has been any sexual behavior outside of the marriage). This work often parallels the therapy that is offered to the same-sex attracted spouse. This stage involves three phases, in which the spouse realizes the effect the disclosure/discovery of same-sex sexuality (and/or sexual behavior outside of marriage) has had on him/her and their relationship (impact), the spouse seeks to make meaning of the offense and regain a sense of control so he/she can move on (search for meaning), and then the spouse uses their new understanding of the situation to move past the hurt and consider how to proceed in the relationship based on their new understanding (recovery).
After there has been a time of focus on the issues that each of the individuals in the mixed orientation marriage may face, the couples who decide to continue together are taught how to foster resilience in their marriage. Therapy at this stage focuses on supporting frequent and honest communication, strengthening the couple's emotional bond, and demonstrating role flexibility.
In the spirit of helping couples grow in their commitment to one another, it is can be helpful to enhance their sexual intimacy. The couple is developing their own unique relationship that is unlike any other couple's relationship. They can work through some of the concerns they might have about intimacy in light of one partner being attracted to the same sex. It is important for the couple to understand this and to be willing to pour into their relationship with the intention of creating something beautiful between them as a couple.

Sexual Identity: Special Considerations for Youth
Something ISSI research has found is that milestone events for individuals with same sex attraction are likely to occur starting with an awareness of same sex attraction anywhere in the age range of 8-14, with behavior, labeling, disclosure, and same-sex relationship following after throughout the teenage and early adult years. We know that the adolescent years are crucial for identity development in general, as well as sexual identity. Therefore, youth who are learning about their same-sex attraction and how to live in congruence with their values, beliefs, and sexual identity have unique considerations as they navigate these issues.
Some unique considerations for youth include:
- The youth may feel societal pressure to take on the label as gay, when they are still in the identity formation stage and therefore may still be processing through what place their sexual identity has in their life. Conversely, a youth may also feel great pressure to not identify as gay for religious, family, cultural or other reasons.
- The youth may get mixed reactions from those close to him/her in their life. For instance, they may have a supportive friend, while their parents may need more time to process through what their child shared with them.
- Parents specifically may need time to process what the youth has shared with them. While the youth may have been wrestling with these emotions and thoughts for a long time, this may come as a complete surprise to the parents, so the youth may need to be patient while the parents process this.
- Because adolescence is a time of identity development, it may be helpful to talk through what sexual attraction means specifically to the youth. Using terms such as "same-sex sexuality" may be more helpful that identifying with the seemingly more permanent label of "gay."
- Publicly coming out as gay may carry some stigma in certain circles. If a youth is identified as such in his school or other community, he may be at an increased risk for feeling alienated, depressed, or other negative emotions.
Helpful questions to ask a youth who is navigating sexual identity and same-sex sexuality:
- Are there people in your life you feel safe talking to–a mentor, a youth pastor, your parents? Who do you trust with what's going on in your life?
- How are you making sense of your feelings and experiences?
- How has it been for you to hear the way people discuss identity and labels (gay, straight, bi) around this topic? What in all of those discussions resonates with you?
- What are your thoughts about all of this? What makes sense to you at this point?
- How are you holding up? What are you doing to take care of yourself?
-Michelle Miller
"Parts" Language and Parts of Yourself
Everyone seems to describe his or her family as kind of crazy. There's the uncle no one's seen in years. A "black sheep" cousin. Two aunts who don't see eye to eye. An overprotective parent. A wayward sibling. Sometimes, it feels like we carry those people, or aspects of them, inside of ourselves. How we describe those aspects of ourselves is known as "parts" language (Schwartz, 1995; 1999). While we are integrated individuals, there are also aspects of ourselves that vary in terms of sentiments, motivations, and needs that often echo in small ways the variety one finds in a family. These aspects of ourselves reflect the ambivalence and complexity of our human experience; however, they may be all the more salient and troubling for those who are conflicted about experiencing same-sex attraction or identify as gay.
An individual experiencing challenges regarding a same-sex attraction may feel a range of emotions, like fear, shame, peace, longing, and uncertainty. The process of addressing these "parts" in sexual identity therapy involves identifying what activates each "part," what each part's drive is, and what it wants for the person. Perhaps the individual fears alienation from family or scrutiny from his or her religious community. Perhaps he or she longs to feel accepted by other communities and experiences a strong need for emotional intimacy with a significant other. Inevitably, the individual develops self-soothing habits to nurture or manage those parts along the journey for reconciling his or her multi-faceted identity. Disregarding the need to address or respond to these parts can lead to heightened psychological and emotional distress. Also, using maladaptive strategies could potentially harm the individual. Understanding one's parts in this way enables an individual to truly appreciate his or her experience and most fundamental identity while traveling down the path of reconciliation between the various parts.

Nature Versus Nurture
One of the oldest questions in psychology undoubtedly is the nature versus nurture debate. Plato reasoned that qualities are innate; occurring naturally regardless of the environment they are in. Other philosophers such as John Locke argued that the mind is a blank slate, impacted by experiences. Whether intelligence or human sexuality, humans are curious to understand what factors influence an individual as he or she develops. We think that by understanding the way we were made, we can understand who we are and where this leaves us in relationship to everyone else.
For those who experience same sex attraction, understanding one's identity may be especially important. Individuals may feel pressure to identify themselves with a label, and with that, both positive and negative implications that may be associated. However, this understanding can leave the impression that sexual identity is one's identity. It minimizes the experiences one has already had and undoubtedly will have for clarity within the greater culture. Sexual identity can be both public and private, containing a myriad of factors that continually influence one's understanding of him- or herself. For example, I might describe myself as an athlete, an outdoorsman, a brother, and a loyal friend. All of these different aspects play a part in how I understand myself and how others understand me as well.
And that's the thing about identity. There are many potential factors, both biological and environmental, that can contribute to how one can identify oneself. Just as with the nature versus nurture debate, the impact each of the factors has may vary depending on the weight given to them. It is only through allowing each individual to uniquely identify their identity that coherency of public and private self may be obtained. Therefore the question is not to be defined by cultural definitions, but the individual's own life blueprint as he or she sees it.

Student Development
Student Life plays an essential role in creating a certain climate at their institution but also can be extremely meaningful in making a difference in the lives of Christians who experience same-sex attraction. In order to be an effective resource for your institution and individuals, it is first necessary to become aware of what exactly sexual identity is. Please see other resources on our page relating to a description of sexual identity and sexual orientation, how common these issues actually are, and descriptions and average timelines of major milestones experienced by individuals of consideration.
Once these issues are further understood, it is important to take into account several considerations for student life staff in the area of student development. Three special considerations include the campus climate, approachability of student life staff, and the reality of policy. In considering the campus climate, it is important to take into account that public opinion on same-sex attraction can facilitate or inhibit a synthesis of sexual identity. Student life can play an important role in creating a campus climate that plays either a facilitating or hindering role in developing sexual identity for sexual minorities.
ISSI recently conducted a study looking at how 104 sexual minorities at Christian colleges or universities viewed the climates of their campuses. The majority of these individuals felt a largely negative attitude toward same-sex behavior and individuals who experience same-sex attraction, indicating a need to improve campus climates. We recognize that Christian colleges will have community behavioral standards, but the idea that the person who is navigating sexual identity concerns would not be viewed favorably is concerning. Means by which Christian colleges can begin to address climate are to not confuse the behavior with the individual, avoid derogatory language relating to sexuality or sexual identity, and remain open to discussing topics relating to sex and sexuality.
The second consideration in promoting healthy student development is ensuring that campus staff engages students in a relational manner to ensure students feel comfortable in approaching them. In interacting with students who are navigating issues relating to same-sex attraction, making others feel comfortable in expressing their views and being a good listener is key. These individuals may be feeling condemned by their church or peers, or too ashamed to speak out, and must have a safe haven where they can discuss their experiences with someone safe and trustworthy. We recommend a specific goal for student life staff is to practice the gift of hospitality: listen attentively, ask open-ended questions, and generally receiving others with kindness and respect.
Finally, navigating and enforcing university policy is an important consideration of student life, especially in relation to maintaining approachability. While our studies indicate that a majority of individuals who experience same-sex attraction at Christian universities currently are not as troubled by formal policies promoting heterosexual marriage and prohibiting same-sex behavior or relationships, they do resent homosexuality being singled out or judged more harshly. These students want to be treated fairly, and see equal application of policies based on sexual expression. Student life must carefully consider how they enforce their university's policies, to work towards serving as a vessel of God's truth, grace, and love.

Shame has been associated with poor psychological health in Christian sexual minorities. There are many possible sources of shame and the mainstream gay community often identifies discrimination in a largely heterosexual society as one specific source of shame. In this article, I want to discuss how churches have conveyed a shame-based script (Johnson &Yarhouse, 2013). Let me begin with a formula for shame. Lewis's cognitive formula for shame (2004) includes three steps that lead to feelings of shame. The first, which will be examined in this article, is reviewing a person's standards, rules, and goals. These are largely influenced by an individual's personality and cultural background, which include religious beliefs. If individuals live in congruence with their standards, rules, and goals, they do not experience shame. In Lewis' formula, if individuals do not live in congruence with their standards, rules, and goals, it is considered a "perceived failure" on the part of the individual (Johnson &Yarhouse, 2013). Consequently, the person attributes the failure to personal deficiencies, thereby making a "negative global attribution," which leads to shame (Johnson &Yarhouse, 2013). The self-condemnation potentially leads to unhealthy emotions and behavior that damages a person's relationships.
Yarhouse (2013) speaks of shame as the primary script communicated by the church to sexual minorities. The church navigates a delicate balance; it conveys Biblical teachings related to homosexuality and a broader sexual ethic while also conveying a sense of support and helping people grow and mature in their identity in Christ. Churches may have a specific set of standards, rules, and goals based on their background and denomination. However, if the church teaches that even having experiences of same-sex attraction is sin and/or promotes an "expectation of easy change," the sexual minority may resent the church and experience shame, which perpetuates isolation and anger (Yarhouse, 2013, p. 77). Further, that person may attribute their failure to personal deficiencies that keep them from meeting the church's standards. If the church reinforces this perception, those feelings may worsen.
Instead of a script of shame for a gay identity, it is possible for the church to introduce a counter-narrative (Yarhouse, 2013), which challenges mainstream conservative or liberal beliefs, by suggesting that people do not choose to experience same-sex attractions, can be honest with themselves and others about the reality of their same-sex sexuality, while making decisions about whether their sexuality will define them as a person. Instead, a person's identity can be viewed in a broader sense and tied to other important meaning-making structures. One example that has come up in several studies of Christian sexual minorities would be choosing an identity in Christ (Yarhouse, 2013). Two key factors that help a person navigate through this process while avoiding shame are to have a solid support system in place as well as immersing and educating themselves on same-sex attraction and Christianity. This may allow sexual minorities to live in congruence with their goals, standards, and rules.

Resources for Youth Pastors
Youth Pastors are tasked not only with providing spiritual guidance to students and young adults, but also with helping them to navigate important questions about morality and sexuality. In this vein, one of the biggest questions facing youth ministers today is how to respond to a student who has revealed that they are experiencing same sex attraction in a way that is both sensitive to the student's experience and true to a biblical understanding of sexual ethics. While many youth ministers may have had training that has touched upon the theological aspects of sexuality, some may be unfamiliar with the psychological, environmental and social components of sexual identity.
With this in mind, ISSI aims to provide youth workers with resources to aid them in their ability to effectively minister to youth who experience same sex attraction. Recently, Dr. Mark Yarhouse (2013) wrote a book tailored for youth ministry entitled, "Understanding Sexual Identity: A Resource for Youth Ministry." This introduces developmental considerations in the formation of sexual identity as well as offers insights on how to effectively communicate with sexual minority youth in ministry settings. By creating a ministry climate that invites youth to share their experiences without shame and fear of rejection, youth ministers can create a space for sexual minority youth to explore what their same sex attraction means in light of their faith. Grace, compassion and understanding paired with education and resources can serve as a healthy approach to serving this population in the context of youth ministry.
Here are a few recommendations for youth ministers working with sexual minority youth:
1) Create an environment in which students know you are open to discussing their struggles without judgment. This may be accomplished by simply announcing this is something you would like your students to talk with you about.
2) Talk to students about stereotypes and derogatory phrases that could be harmful to sexual minorities and take a stance against bullying. Phrases like "that's so gay" isolate and embarrass youth with same sex attractions.
3) Review and explain the three-tier distinction, which highlights the differences between sexual attraction, orientation and identity. Phrases like "You can't be gay and Christian" unintentionally communicates to youth that same sex attractions prevent them from following Christ. Youth are then forced to leave the faith because they find they are unable to leave their same sex attractions.
4) Invite students to discuss sexuality and what God intends for sexual relationships. Think deeply on your own understanding of sexual ethics and be transparent to youth about what this means in the context of scripture.
5) Become aware of counselors or therapists in the area with whom you can consult.

Facilitating Personal Congruence
As humans, we often find that we are conflicted within. We may have been taught that certain things are right or wrong, but, when confronted with them in everyday life, we find that the answers aren't always so cut and dry. We find that our experience or our feelings differ from what we have always believed or have been taught to believe. This causes inner conflict, which often leads to distress, unhappiness, and lack of fulfillment. These feelings persist until we can find a way to resolve these conflicting thoughts and emotions so that they align, which is also known as finding congruence. When talking about sexual identity, these conflicts usually occur between the individual's beliefs/values and their behaviors/identity (Yarhouse, 2010). Personal congruence can be difficult to reach, especially for individuals from religious backgrounds. So, how do individuals who are conflicted about their sexual identity find personal congruence?
Because congruence is essentially living in a manner consistent with your beliefs and values, it is important for individuals to determine what their beliefs and values are and where they came from. Oftentimes, beliefs and values are not our own, and this can make it frustrating to align our behaviors and identity with something that we are not sure is true. Therefore, it is important for individuals to determine what their personal beliefs and values are. For some, this will lead them into agreement with their previously held beliefs. These individuals often move their behavior and identity into congruence with their beliefs and values and find their identity in their beliefs and values (e.g. a Christian who experiences same-sex attraction). For others, this will lead them to reject their previously held beliefs and values. In this situation, beliefs and values are moved into congruence with behavior and identity (e.g. label as gay or lesbian). Others may choose to integrate their beliefs with a gay identity (e.g. label as a gay Christian) and find congruence this way. As you can see, it is important to identify your beliefs and values and make sure they are your own. Attempting to find personal congruence with someone else's beliefs and values is frustrating and really isn't "personal" congruence. Regardless of the direction of your congruence, it is important to continue to evaluate your beliefs and values, as well as behaviors and identity, in order to ensure and facilitate continued personal congruence.
Justin Sides
The Three Tier Distinction
When we refer to the "three tier distinction," we are talking about a distinction between same-sex attraction, a homosexual orientation, and a gay identity. Same sex attraction refers to experiences of physical and emotional attraction to a person of the same sex. It does not define a person. In fact, it is one of the most descriptive ways to talk about a person's experiences. Homosexual orientation describes the persistence of attraction to the same sex. When a person speaks of having a homosexual orientation, they are again not necessarily defining themselves as a person, but providing information about their same-sex sexuality as an enduring pattern of attraction. When we think about the word "gay" as an identity, we often refer to a person who adopts the word "gay" as who they are (rather than how they are). We recognize that there is a new generation of Christians who use gay more as an adjective to describe their sexual orientation, for example, a traditionally believing Christian who has a homosexual orientation might say, "I am a celibate gay Christian." Others, however, use gay to designate who they are (as identity) and others often assume through that identity label that the person views same-sex relationships as morally permissible.
The three tier distinction provides an alternative route to how one thinks about their identity and it can be useful to some people at certain points in their identity development. The three-tier distinction would allow a person who experiences same sex attraction or a homosexual orientation to describe what they experience/feel without making a statement about their identity. Identity is a label that a person can choose for themselves, and different people have made different decisions about identity labels and their meaning. For example, some Christians have preferred to form their identity in Christ rather than referencing their same-sex sexuality. Others do both in referring to themselves as either a "gay Christian" or a "celibate gay Christian."
The three tier distinction should not be used to set an expectation that another person use descriptive language over an identity label. Rather, it is intended as a pastoral or counseling resource for those who find it helpful as they navigate sexual identity questions and concerns.

What is the name of the book you've recommended over the years? Or is anyone else knows what it is. I thought i'd saved a link but can't find it and now my son is having ongoing issues. He's the type that will follow a regimen outlined in a book so this is a good option for him.
Thanks for any info on this. Deb |
Follow-Up Postings:
THat's it! thanks so much, terriks. I'm chatting online with my son now. He's been seeing a chiro and he says for the first time in his life, he feels worse after those appointments and just keeps getting the same adjustments week after week. Hat it that my kids are so far away :( |
That book saved my life and I credit this forum and Les in particular. I had 15 years of hideous pain and three discectomy, laminectomies. When I read the book and put the theory in to practice, my pain level went from 100% to 25% and life is much better for me. Thanks Les. |
I haven't read the whole thing, but thus far A Nation in Pain by Judy Foreman is excellent and well-researched, and delves into all sorts of treatments and their effectiveness, with exercise being the most prominent. |

I haven't heard of this book...just got it out of the library. I have a friend who has chronic issues and thought maybe this could help her....Thx! |
Funny, Stossel was just talking about this book. I recommended it to my BIL, who has chronic back pain. Chiropractors are hit or miss. i too have come out worse than better. Not that they created damage, but saw no improvement and sometimes had pain where I didn't before. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Tue, Aug 5, 14 at 7:52
I find a huge difference in quality of chiropractors...some have magic hands, some are worthless, and some I think are even dangerous. |
I must be lucky and have a chiro with magic hands, because he has done wonders for me. I was a skeptic, but was in so much pain from degenerative disc disease which triggered sciatica that I was willing to try just about anything. I am now a believer, but I think Annie is right about some not being as good as others. I am going to read that book also. |
Physical therapy can also be a huge help and will teach you ways to make your body stronger and in many cases, this will help with back problems. I also suggest trying massage, but it's a bit hit and miss to find a good massage therapist - one who knows what they are doing. I recently had a problem with upper back/neck muscles that was causing problems in my shoulder. Thankfully, massage and exercise have just about cured it! |

Mountain Mike's Pizza keeps belly bearings well lubricated with its selection of topping-laden pizzas, oven-kissed sandwiches, and more. Like a fleet-footed yeti, Mountain Mike's Pizza's menu deftly scales rocky heights with its selection of mountain-themed specialty pizzas, such as the 12-inch Everest and Snowy Alps pizzas, each stacked with a savory selection of Old World pepperoni, onion, olives, and more ($17.99). With two types of crust, four sauces, and 26 toppings, diners can craft their own perfect pies.
In 1959, Straw Hat created the very first California pizza crust. Different from any other crust at the time, the layered, flaky bread crunched like a cracker and carried Straw Hat's signature sauce to mouths with ease. More than 50 years later, this recipe for hearty, flavorful pizzas has changed very little. But while Straw Hats' pizza twirlers still cover their crispy dough in a secret sauce, their menu has expanded to included hot wings, hot sandwiches, and a slew of beers. Diners can also pick and choose from the salad bar, which previously existed only in pizza-parlor legend. Straw Hat's locations often boast high-definition TVs, video arcades, and play places for children.
As a high-school student working at a local pizzeria, John Schnatter often pondered how he would do things differently if he owned such a business himself. After graduating from college in 1983, he got his chance, knocking down the broom closet in his father's tavern to create his own pizza-delivery business. Since then Papa John's Pizza has grown to 3,500 restaurants in 50 states and 29 countries. At each location, cooks cover the signature hand-tossed crusts, made with high-protein flour and clear, filtered water, with tomato sauce from vine-ripened California tomatoes, then pile on locally sourced ingredients such as green peppers and onions. The emphasis on fresh ingredients extends to the 100% mozzarella cheese, beef, and pork, which are never artificially inflated with fillers or undeserved compliments.
In addition to delivering pizzas, Papa John's reaches out to the community with charity involvement, including partnering with the Boy Scouts of America and Junior Achievement to teach US students about entrepreneurship and the best method of capturing a wild roma tomato.
After spending some time working in franchise restaurants, the family behind Happy Pizza set out to create their own restaurant emphasizing fresh, house-made Sicilian and American fare not often found in big chains. Thick, thin, or original golden crusts tossed to order support delicious layers of the family's original marinara, pesto, or creamy white garlic sauces. House-made meat sauce blankets hearty helpings of spaghetti, and a drizzle of cinnamon or garlic butter elevates golden spheres of pizza dough to a level of culinary bliss previously reserved for Cookie Monster.

Can anyone tell me if there are any heaths or heathers that would be suitable for a zone 3 garden in canada? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here is a couple of links. The first discusses growing heathers in cold climates: http://www.heathsandheathers.com/care/page3.html and the second specifically deals with growing in Canada: http://www.heathsandheathers.com/care/page5.html |
How much snow do you get? If you reliably get good, deep snow, you can plant some of the lower-growing varieties of heather and after the ground freezes, mulch them with cut pine branches to help create some protection. Then, once it snows, they will be protected from the worst extremes of the weather. No guarantees, but it might be worth trying. I did that with some varieties that aren't totally hardy where I am, and it worked pretty well. |
I've been wondering the same thing about growing them in zone 6. We often have very cold spells but when that happens, there is usually no snow cover. Do you completely cover them with the cut pine boughs or just cover the ground under them? I have read that winter wind is bad for them and we have a lot of that. I've been trying to figure out where on my property to plant some. I'd like them close to the house so I could see them better but the winter wind worries me. |
I cover the plant, though not densely, with the evergreen boughs. Your Christmas tree, after you take it down, will provide nice stiff needled branches to drape over the heaths and heathers. It shelters them a bit from both winter sun and wind, and if there's any snow at all, it tends to get blown into the heather plant and evergreen branches and stay there to help shelter the heath/heather. |
The heathsandheathers.com site (see cranebill's post) does give good information. Here in the East, we get much of our information from rockspray.com. Rock Spray is a zone 6 nursery on Cape Cod, but they can be very helpful about which heathers are most hardy. Since you are more centrally located (east-westwise), I don't know which would give you better shipping rates, but both are worthy of investigation. The other posters here talk about protecting Calluna and Erica by covering them, after the ground freezes, with evergreen boughs. In your climate especially (Zone 3 is iffy for heathers), the importance of this cannot be overstated. And for strong spring–fall growth, be sure to site them properly: sun, water (until well established) with excellent drainage and with the soil conditions (acidic!) they want. Don't overlook the winter-blooming heaths (Erica), as many of them are very hardy with attractive foliage year-round. (They look great with grasses, too.) |

I planted 5 erica darleyensis in April when they were in full, saturated bloom. They looked great then and even after they stopped blooming, I had good looking plants with no foliage turning brown at all. I thought they were supposed to be in bloom again now, but all I have is about 40% of the density I had at planting. Is it too soon to expect them to look as they did when I planted them? Also, I was told they are tolerant of alkaline soils and I do indeed have clay soil and I haven't fertilized them since I planted them using root starter. Anyone have any experience with these plants they would care to share? |
Eight years ago I planted heathers. They all did fine (I'm zone3/4) as long as I had snow. Last winter they all died - no snow and deep freeze (-20 F) did them in. They were beautiful while they lasted and were pretty big (almost 2' in diameter). I have always covered them with either leaves or pine needles and then evergreen branches. The winter protection unfortunately didn't help when we didn't get the snow. |
Thanks for answering my questions! I forgot that I had posted here:-( I bought 2 E. dar. and planted them in Nov. They immediately turned brown. This always happens when I plant Erica. |

The amide linkage is one of the most fundamental and widespread chemical bonds in nature, underlying the properties of a vast array of organic molecules, polymers, and materials, including peptides and proteins. Arthur Greenberg, Curt Breneman, and Joel Liebman's peerless text provides comprehensive coverage of the experimental, structural, and computational findings that shed light on the chemical and physical properties of the amide linkage, as well as its emerging applications in materials and biotechnology.
Chapters in The Amide Linkage highlight how this chemical bond factors in the design of enzyme inhibitors, cyclic peptides, antibacterial agents, and emerging nanotechnology applications. This one-of-a-kind study also:

Latest project - acrylic on canvas. Mega good times. |
Latest project - acrylic on canvas. Mega good times. |
Hello, I'm Cheryn (also known as Merwenna)! I do a lot of calligraphy and illumination-related art, especially for the Society for Creative Anachronism to be used as awards - most of what you see in my gallery are award "scrolls". Several of my pieces are done with historically accurate ground pigments and animal skin parchment, though I most frequently use gouache on pergamenata. I also enjoy combining medieval aesthetics with modern subjects just for kicks! I've dipped my toe into bookbinding and panel painting, I enjoy painting unexpected accessory items like parasols and wooden chests every now and again, and I am currently learning more about paleography and manuscript conservation. I'm from the US but am currently living in Budapest - also trying (and failing) to learn Hungarian! I do take commissions, so don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. |
The Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta
War of the Wings VIII
Instructors: Letia Thistelthueyt (firstname.lastname@example.com)
& Merwenna de Rannowe (email@example.com)
Manuscript History at a Glance
- Between 1561 and 1562 Georg Bocskay, court secretary to Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, wanted to show off his skills by making a model book of calligraphy. (No really, he made it almost entirely to show off his technical skill, range of hands, and demonstrate his intellectual value.)
- Thirty years later (1591-96), Emperor Rudolf II (Ferdinand's grandson) commissioned Joris Hoefnagel to illuminate the book.
- Became a visible debate between the two art forms!
The Illumination
- Flowers, bugs, small animals, shells, etc. (some real, some imaginary)
- Wealth and sophistication demonstrated by collecting these items (Example: Rudolf II's kunstkammer - "cabinet of curiousities")
- Made in a heavy trade area/seaport - lots of access to exotic items
- Interlaced flowers "woven" through the page
- Nod to memento mori concept via dead critters
- New painting techniques - foreshortening & vanishing point, etc.
The Calligraphy
- Intended solely as a display piece! No rhyme or reason to the written content. Made up of prayers, canticles, psalms, and occasionally imperial briefs and other correspondences.
- Historical, invented, and exhibition hands Latin scripts include: Italic, rotunda, antiqua (based on Carolingian miniscule), and a variety of gothic styles. Also contains some non-Latin texts, like Greek and Hebrew; and things such as mirrored hands, calligrams, "cut letters", superfluous flourishing, and various other embellished hands.
- Variety in layout from page to page. Each page was created to stun the viewer on its own, not to visually fit into a larger picture, as most SCA scroll sources do.
Making Your Own Scrolls from the MCM
- Always plan in advance!!! Also, we'd recommend doing calligraphy first, as the illumination is easier to fit in and around the lettering. Great system for collaborative pieces!
- Adaptable! The MCM is adaptable in many ways. Items that would normally be the symbol of an award can be painted as actual physical items (ex. pearl, coral branch - Letia even made a bug that had an opal pattern on its wings!). You can choose a calligraphy style based on personal taste or persona, even if the recipient's persona isn't congruent with the MCM, one could still use an Italian Rotunda hand for an Italian persona and still be period. Round out the scroll with decorative flowers, fruit, small animals, shells, or other natural items that you feel would be appropriate for the award/recipient (ex. dragon!). If nothing strikes your fancy, pick one of the more elaborate (or just filling) calligraphy styles and add extra flourishes or a large capital letter.
- Arrange all of these factors together ahead of time - we strongly recommend sketching out at least rough guidelines of where each element of the scroll will go, just to make sure that proportions and spacing mesh with each other.
- Proportions of letters to lines to spaces - leave space for illumination AND matte room
- If flourishy, leave out ascenders & descenders - go back, draw in (with pencil) flourishy connections, then ink over (another reason waterproof ink is gooood).
- Quick ways to fancify one of the basic hands mentioned above:
- Use long ascenders or descenders, or both
- Use a basic hand without heavy flourishes, but do three different sizes of writing
- Write wording in an unusual pattern, called a "calligram" - The Mistress Aneira method of doing this: Write out text with the size lettering you want; measure length of all the calligraphy combined; cut a string that length & lay out on paper in desired pattern; "trace" string; write calligraphy along the line..
- It's period to make things up! You can use different flowers/bugs than in manuscript, or make up bugs/flowers (ex. Letia's opal-butt bug, Sibry's flowers)
- Shading is very blended and soft; no outlines on the illumination
- Don't forget the shadows on the paper! Keep your light source consistent! If it helps, pencil in a little sun in one corner to remind you where the shadows should fall.
- Sometimes stems go through paper - don't forget the shadow that would be created by the bump of the paper the stem is going under.
- Leave room for a matte!

The Evolution of Diet
Keyword: Believe (281 comments)
"A lot of people believe there is a discordance between what we eat today and what our ancestors evolved to eat"
"The popularity of these so-called caveman or Stone Age diets is based on the idea that modern humans evolved to eat the way hunter-gatherers did during the Paleolithic..."
The emphasized words sum up the evidence backing up a "Paleo Diet"--it's a belief system, not science. We have a bevy of research to support the health benefits of foods such as legumes and whole grains and barely a scrap which suggests they cause harm. Is there a chance some future research will demonstrate that whole grains and legumes cause health problems that more than offset any potential benefits? Sure, but there's also people holding out for proof that homeopathy works.
I'm not saying you can't eat a Paleo Diet and be perfectly healthy, I'm just saying that it's pseudoscience based on an appeal to wisdom and an appeal to nature. We might also argue that humans haven't had time to evolve for wearing clothing (based off low circulating vitamin D levels) and that therefore we should definitely stop wearing them, and there is a similar paucity of research. Suffice to say: it's not science, it's a pure-and-simple belief system.
